Alfred Summcrson was the sop of a gent-Ionian
of fortune and family. Generous,1
waru)(icaru*i, quicK-witou, wun, a source pf j
amusemtmt that was inexhaustible, good I
ttfilse, and faculty fur all ho undertook, there .
was nothing to prevent his being the boat!
of scholars, oxeept that unconquerable love
of fun, and the knowledge thqt lie could
make up lost time .by a little extra application
never was put in practice, and in consequence
bis friends begun to fear for Lis fu1
ture, ,
.Jessie Grey was the ouiy child of a,widowed j
mother, nrjd the darling of every one. Gen-j
tie and affectionate, she loved the wild youth j
.who had ju?t left her, with her whole heart,
her mother dreaded to allow the young j
people to think uf morelhau friendship, fear-,
ing that Suimnei$oti would nut make so [
gentian soul as Jessie's as happy as a more
settled mate might j and so, although Smn-.
uiorson's mind was fully made up that Jessie
Grey was to be his wife, .jij lime, mid although
Jesse .wore a little ring tlwu had been
giveq as a .Christmas present, but by a few
whispered ^vords naif-laughing, ludf serious,
lipd oeeu eqdpwed with a deeper meaning,
there was nu deljpito and settled understand- <
Jessievyas a gretit favorite with the Summersons,
who saw that she had more in- 1
fluenco with Alfred than any who' hoped j
she might bring bim round right in the end.
By tliein the match was earnestly desired a< :
soon both parties should be of suitable
age, and qn hearing of Alfred's new resolu- i
tion, resolved to make a tour to Kurope in 1
the year, as it would be a g?>od opportunity | {
io ;umi mp ott-repealed promise made by i
Stuumerson senior to the ladies of his fami- I
Iv, and:Jessie an<4 her mother wore lo ac- >
company them.
Allhongh Alfred was not to ace'Jessie, he
was not debarred the pritfHoge of writing to
her, and her letters were always so full-of
encouragement that it gave the young stu- '
dent fresh energy and 'perseverrliyre every 1
time he received one. We- will not say it 1
was nn easy tiling for the wild, thoughtless 1
youth Id become studious. It was very hard '
to refuse ' his old comrades' invitations, (
warmly urged (for Krcd Suminerson was the !
liftyof a party,) to j8in this and Hint scheme
of lawless fun, and perhaps he w?.>ul?l ifot 5
have withstood all those manifold tempta- 1
tions, if it had not been for an older eollegi- 1
an who took a great interest in Alfred's en(leavers
for amendment. -Philip Walton was 1
nearly twenty-two years of age, ami this was v
his last term at college, lie was without 1
relations, wealth or position,yetheoommand
ed the respect of every one he came in contact
with T?y his dignity and generosity. Ho 1
,w?aa considered a distinction; and that he j
should show such a brotherly interest in
,"wild tred Summersou" was :i subject of
amaaertietit t<? Alfred's formet companion*. s
I Hut urging was not all Summersou had 1
i to contend with; for finding that mode in- '
(effycty to tnovd him, his ydtthg classmates '
tried taunts,* and Alfred's hot, proud nature s
waa^hdv tried bflVeven these failed, and '
j ip time'his torments gave over, declaring ,
| "jMinnperson had lost all hi*spirit and grown 1
shocking tame, meanspbltPtl'nnd cowardly. '
and not Worth upending'their time on." / '
Hut at cotpntoiicenient they bang another 1
Juno Vhen Alfred Huuiiaorson received the (
highest prize, and the warm prai-o of his 1
fpend*, whitq tohim tho happy faces of hi* -1
family, and the tear in Je*t?ie?? ?re, were 1

is so striking'to my late hi.s6nnd that I cannot
forbear to i?k the question." %
"Indeed, madam. I think it extremely
jrrobfible, as my name was Groy once, and
was changed on my being adapted by a gentleman
of the natne of Walton."
Mrs Grey in art agitated voice exclaimed :
"l>o not think me curious, but at what
age dill he adopt von. and do you know
imyt!?ihg of your father's family ?"
"I was about six years of age at the time,,
and of my father I know nothing, except
that he was a sea captain, and by wurq
Philip "Grey."
He was interrupted by bis companion's
feeble exclamation and deathly pallor, as she
loaned fur support c'n the arm of the sofa.'
"What is the matter, madam?what?"
"1 am better, now; if you will liaye the
kindnoes to bring mo rt glass of water."
Walton flew to fetch it, and on his return
Mrs! Grev hud nearly recovered herself. In
a i<? njniuics sue t Mia :
"fs there any inr.rk oa your right arm of

Wa'lon ftartcd to his foot, a smldcn
Hght bursting upon his mind, uttd eagerly
r<y li nl:?
"Yes ? ye.i, it was mftiked when T was a
child by a friend of my father. Who are
you^rtJtdhm, that you know so much of mc ?"
' j am your fnotlicr," Philip 1"
The scene that followed we will not attempt
to describe. An explanation was
made, which we give in brief. Captain Orc\v
on his last voyage, which was made six
year previous to the time our story opens,
left his wife with an infant, now the
lovely Jessie, but took his son, a boy of
live years, with him. On thb passage
out, !iis ship was wrecked on the coast
of Franco ami all on hoard except little
Philip p> .ished. A vessel bound i'or New
Orleans picked him up, but he was unable
to give any account of himself, except
his name ami age. One of the passengers
utleiod to take charge of the little fellow, and
though hardly able, had adopted him on arriving
at his home. . . *
When Philip was sixteen his kind protector
died, and left him barely enough to
carry him through college, with strict
economy, living so long accustomed to the
naineot \v aiton, Urey, as we must not call
hiin, did not think of finding relations in the
the Now England States, ami almost forgot
that his name hud been other, than the one
he had taken.
( rent were the rejoicings in both families,
and Summeraon felt how deeply lie was indebted
for all this happiness u> his endeavor
to conquer himself. If he had not shown <
by his altered conduct his good resolution,
lirey would never have noted him, and de
parted for the South to pursue his profession,
losing his chance of regaining a mother and
slater. . j
In a few fleeting years there was-a double
marriage at the splendid mansion of Mr. j
"hinmierson, which gave another son to Mrs. j
lirey, another daughter to himself; and Alfred
Sumnierson never rog*elte?l that speech |
to Jessie, or the year of trial, j^nd the noble ;
idf-conquest tliat followed. *
3ktr aordinary Ballon Ascension by a *
Lady, and Miraculous Escape. !
Wf. announced a few days ago that Miss j
U>ui a Hrtnlley n->ccndtd l a balloon at Ea?- I
.011 Ph., on flic 26th nst., and that she
nade a miraculous escape from death. It
ipjiears she filled the balloon with gas from |
?ue of the m tin streets, that it \yas made of;
>!d siik, and that she knew very little about j
.he hnsiness she had undertaken. The hub j
oon a>cended at first about 20 feet, when ;
ihe made a short address to the crowd of;
>oople. It then rose gently, still held by
he rope, until she was one hundred feet,
iom the ground, when she cut the cord, and i
be balloon rose perpendicularly, vtilh great!
elocity, until she had reached a mile, of a'
uile and a quarter. A spectator says :
When she reached (his height she Mates j
hat the balloon, which \va? not entirely fill-1
>d when it left the earth, expanded, until!
1k> gas begun to escape at the seams, and'
Kjuamo very offensive to her. She had been j
.o absorbed l?v tho enchanting' prospect
pread out'beneath her, which she says was1
uugfhificeilt. beyond tho powrr of language to1
Icsctibc, that she had not noticed tho bal-'
oon. The escape of gas alarmed, her, and
ihn pulled the valve rope, but permitted but
idle gas to escape, as she was afraid she
would fall into the Delaware, which was. di-:
rectly beneatli her. In a few moments after;
his tho balloon collapsed, and to our horror1
ind nlamb we saw her fall with frightful ra-'
>idity for the distaneo of six hundred or scfv-!
en hundred foot, her pjo&rcss then beiftg
lin ked, from what caiiMj w?j below could
lot see,' although we'th^rt obsorved that she'
was descending quito slod-ly.
It seems thdt'wlien the balloon burst it
was torn into ribands, except the lower part
t>r fleck'of t!ie balloon. So oompletujy was
the upper part torn to pfticd, that large
pieces of silk blew away, and the remainde^'
